I installed it (android), put in my phone number and real name, but denied access to my contacts. A friend (who has my phone number and name in their contacts) got a message saying that I had joined signal.

Does this mean that signal sends your phone number and/or name out to every single signal user to see if there is a match?

Doesn't seem like something that says they are about privacy should be done.

That was the only reason I registered as well.
